Pacific Rim (2013) feat. Sean Childers (Big Mecha But Not Huge)

Get in the Jaeger, it's time to kick some kaiju butt! We're cancelin' the apocalypse with Guillermo del Toro's love letter to the mecha and kaiju genre. But is the film entirely drift compatible? Or are we easily impressed by practical effects, intricate cinematography, and big space swords? Joining this monster mash is Sean Childers (Big Mecha But Not Huge; Toku For Two), ready to swing an oil tanker at any kaiju that crosses his path.And thank YOU all for being a part of the team!

The Addiction (1995) feat. Frank Olson

If any of the following makes you uncomfortable, be warned: blood, sex, Christopher Walken, philosophy, and more. But actually, this vampire film is rather serious and may challenge your sensibilities. We welcome Frank Olson back to help us take a bite out of it. Now grab your garlic and dust off your Nietzsche - we're going back to school. Vampire school. Thanks for listening, friends!

The Giant Spider Invasion (1975) feat. Bill Rebane (sort of) - the director and producer!

You're caught in our web with this one! There's no other way to spin it. Spiders fall from space, get really big, and eat people. We're celebrating the movie's 50th anniversary and you should too! And who better to do it with than the director and producer himself, Bill Rebane. Now, as you'll hear, the monster movie gods didn't play nice with our recording... nevertheless, we've stitched something together that we're happy with. Kind of like The Giant Spider Invasion, maybe this episode is so-bad-it’s-good? Let us know. So pour yourself a drink, grab a fly swatter, and enjoy the spider that makes Jaws look like a goldfish!Thanks for listening, friends!
